Who was your guilty pleasure for Saints?

Mine has to be Glenn Cockerill, that fellow ran twice as much as the other 21 on the pitch but saw 50% less of the ball and I loved him for that, loads of cult players late 80’s early 90’s, maybe I’m biased and I know I am being so but in the early 90’s when we were truly truly shite we had some absolute cult shite players.

Nothing guilty about hero worshipping Ron Davies but a GREAT who is not recognised as a great must be classified as a Cult Hero.

Ian Branfoot. I was at college with his son which meant I got comps for most home games. Never greater a conflict of interest was had.

Matt Le Tiss.

As an old work college said to me on a Pizzaland break in the staff room in 1994, with a completely straight face and out of the blue. ‘Now Kev that Matt Le Tissier, I’ll tell you what, he is the only bloke I would not only suck off, but I would let him come in my mouth’. Then returned to his pizza.

Four cheese?

I wasn’t there but a person I know didn’t wash his shoes after Le Tissier pissed all over them in New Yorks.

Nicky Banger. Always had huge speed, leading to very brief promising moments of attack, but forgot to take the ball with him.

Always loved Jimmy Case’s leadership, commitment and general footy nouse. Always knew when to go in hard or when to use skills. Met him once or twice and was a complete gent too.

Neil Ruddock too.

“Chicken George” Lawrence normally took the ball with him as he sped down the flanks at great speed, but often forgot to stop before the byeline and end up crashing into the Milton or Archers Road walls!!

Alfredo sauce!

Really wanted Nicky Banger to do well as he knew my sister from school. Turns out that he slept with one of my school friends!!!

Tommy Jenkins. When he was up for it he used to go past people for fun. Ran almost the length of the pitch to score at WHU leaving many 'ammers on their backsides many years ago. Awesome player on his day.

Really liked the bloke, probably had a bit of a man crush on him to be honest. Will always remember him scoring a header against arsenal away, when we were really crap. They’d had 98% possession and we were starting to cheer throw ins.

Last few minutes we get a free kick and he heads it in.

Probably the only goal ever I’ve celebrated by laughing rather than cheering. Theindi

Yes, he never looked like he could be arsed either. We nicked a draw somehow!

I got all the Saints for Christmas and some of names bring back great memories.
